Boyounagh
Boyounagh is a village in County Galway, Ireland, northwest of Glenamaddy. History The old church of Boyounagh is all destroyed with exception of a fragment of the north wall. The building was wide but its length cannot be ascertained. The natives relate there was a monastery; traces of a foundation of an abbey called An Mainistir are pointed out a short distance to the east of the old graveyard. The site of the old church is almost in the centre of the pre-Norman Ballybetagh, old town land of Boyounagh. In the 16th/17th century inquisitions it was returned to grand juries as "Ye Fower quarters" of Boyounagh belonging to the Protestant Archbishop of Tuam. The old church of Boyounagh was sited in and surrounded by church lands. In modern times these four quarters consist of eight ordnance survey town lands including Cloonkeen, Meelick, Boyounagh Beg, alias Cunningham village, Boyounagh More alias Middletown and Cashel. In the latter days of landlordism it was called the Bo ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Glenamaddy
Glenamaddy () is a small town in County Galway, Ireland. It lies at the crossroads where the R362 and R364 regional roads meet. Glenamaddy became a musical focal point in Connacht during the 1960s during the showband era. To the east of the town lies Loch Lurgeen, a raised bog. The origins of the parish lie in the village of Boyounagh, which lies to the northwest of Glenamaddy. Name It is unclear what the exact meaning and Irish translation for Glenamaddy is. It could be derived from the Irish ''Gleann na Madadh'', ''Gleann'' meaning glen (valley) and ''madhadh'' from ''madra'' meaning dog. This would suggest that the name means Valley of the Dogs. This name could have originated from the shape of the Glenamaddy Turlough as looked at from above. Glenamaddy might also have come from ''Gleann na Maighe Duibhí'' or Valley of the Black Plain, presumably because of the turlough lake in the area which dries up every year leaving behind a black plain of limestone.
